Saturday Feb 13, UF beat a determined and well coached Eckerd College team in a 35-5 victory.
The scoring started at 3minutes into the game with penalty kick by Matias “Pepper” Groetaers. AT 10 minutes, Pepper followed with another penalty kick from beyond mid field. Jordan Manning followed with an unconverted try 5 minutes later. The restart resulted in the play of the game when Brett Stubbs received the ball and sidestepped the Eckerd tacklers to streak down the sidelines. He offloaded to Marcus Roche who fed Noah Walker for the try. It was a great showing of dynamic forward support. Pepper converted for two more points. Even two quick scores did not slow down the determined Eckerd side. 24 minutes into the half Eckerd came back with a score out wide from a 5 meter penalty. They were not able to convert the try. The final score in the half came when Cory Penca hit Jason Lentz at pace who ran through two tacklers to score the try. Pepper converted for 2 more points. Halftime score was 25-5.
The second half was a hard fought battle with Pepper kicking another penalty for 3 points and followed by a try and conversion by Pepper.
Final score 35-5
Next game is Sat Feb 20 in Immokalee against Ave Maria University
